Arguably, but Campebll is from Goose Creek. Isn’t Campbell a longtime Santee Cooper guy, arguably the largest employer in the region? No, but he loves to give that vibe. After retiring from Alcoa he was appointed to the Board. And for some reason or another, i think voters still think about the whole Hinson/Law debacle several years ago. The Hinson/Law debacle single handedly lost Shirley the race; the RNC could not have won that race for her. Isn’t the base of this district Moncks Corner and Pinopolis (where Campbell is) ?

Please someone who lives in this area help me out here...did this play into it, or was it really Merrill's campaign? I think it has to do more with demographics and the fact that "Columbia Insiders" like Shirley are just not seen as upstanding people right now Isn’t the base of this district Moncks Corner and Pinopolis (where Campbell is) ?

I don't see yours. What I write on my blog, I stand behind. But if you would like to call me out on anything I've written there, go for it. I like when my readers have enough sense to take what I'm talking about, do their homework, and make sure I'm not BSing them. I'm sure your highly-credible sources had evidence to back up their claims? By all means, please share this proof as to my blog being a source of "unfounded rumors" or the attack mail. As to how much it hurts ... hell, I've got a good day job in the private sector. Been there for years, and it beats playing kiss-ass in the political realm with people less mature than my kids. Say what you want about me - my bills will still get paid at the end of the day. As for Will, I'll let him speak for himself. Grapevine – at least you see my name here. I don’t see yours.

By the way, what is it about you giving a sworn statement that is supposed to add to your credibility? That would be about as meaningful as a sworn statement from Will Folks. You and will live to unfounded rumors. Hurts when you are the subject of one, doesn't it?? :) Hey, Earl. I “heard” the same thing as Tina.

I'd be more than happy to submit that to you in a sworn statement. I'd also be interested in knowing your source for this information. I didn't support Campbell - that much is no secret. But did I think he was part of some alleged criminal conspiracy? Hell no. That's way over the top. Or maybe get one of the mail pieces in question and look at the postage information on the front side? That should tell you who sent it out, which should tell you if it was or was not me. You'll look a lot more credible if you'd take a few minutes to share facts to support your claims, instead of simply saying you "heard" it.

Hinson to be their senator and that it wasn't the fault of Merrill at all! Oh, and by the way, I heard it was Earl Capps who sent out the mail piece, not Jimmy.
